以多邊平台觀點探討線上軟體平台對外部開發者之守門機制: 以App Store和Android Market為例 / Gatekeeping Stategy on online marketplaces from the multi-sided platforms perspective: a case study on App store and Android market

行動上網時代來臨,隨著連網技術成熟與裝置快速普及,微型應用程式(application,簡稱app)的應用應運而生,線上軟體平台產業快速成形,集廣大外部開發者之力共同創造價值與利潤。

激烈的平台競爭與初步的產業發展成果突顯出,面向多方參與者的平台對外部開發者守門的重要性,平台經營者如何在敞開大門的同時又能取得好的創意,背後應該有可供解釋的理由與作為。因此,本研究結合過去研究未有交集的多邊平台與守門理論兩觀點,期盼藉由研究成果回答三點研究問題:(1)線上軟體平台如何對外部開發者進行守門?(2)線上軟體平台之守門機制隨平台發展歷程有何變化?(3)線上軟體平台之守門機制對平台之經營績效有何影響?

本研究所得到的初步結論:(1)線上軟體平台在開放與透過一系列「規範中有服務」的措施組成對外部開發者的守門機制,分為「價值獲取型」守門機制與「價值創造型」守門機制兩類。(2)線上軟體平台守門機制在「導入期」與「成長期」是處於「開放中有封閉,封閉中有開放」的狀態,價值獲取型守門機制從導入期至成長期是封閉趨向開放,價值創造型守門機制從導入期至成長期是開放趨向封閉。(3)線上軟體平台非獲利中心,而是生態系統的一控制點。 / Internet infrastructure and technology have advanced, we have now entered the Mobile Internet Device era. Online marketplaces form and applications sprout, stimulating an ecosystem worthy enough for external developers to dive in, grabbing the value in this co-creating process.
However, managing the online marketplace is difficult. Developing a place to encourage participation for external developers as well as to gate keeping the platform quality is not an easy task. Up to this day, we can observe different online marketplaces develop different approaches. This research combines the prospective from multi-sided platforms theory and gatekeeping theory in view to answer three questions: (1) What is the gatekeeping strategy for online marketplaces? (2) As online marketplaces develop, how does the gatekeeping process change? (3) What influence does gatekeeping strategy has on online marketplaces performance?
This study has found: (1) Two different strategies multi-sided platforms use for gatekeeping forming regulation and services for external developers are “Value Proposition” and “Value Creation”. (2) From the “early stage” to the “developing stage” of multi-sided platforms, this research discovers two different movements on gatekeeping: “From Opened to Restricting” and “From Restricting to Opened”. “Value Proposition” strategy leans toward “From Restricting to Opened” state, while “Value Creation” strategy leans toward “From Opened to Restricting” state.(3) Multi-sided platform is not a place to generate interests, but a place to manage the ecosystem.
